Blair looked like a deer caught in headlights. Hesitantly she took a step back from both the boys.

"You and Matt?" Conner asked incredulously. "Or... No, you wouldn't? Not you two?" Conner exclaimed looking from Andy than back to Blair.

"No!" Andy and Blair shouted together.

"Then why..." Conner began.

Blair interrupted, "If you two could just help me find my purse this embarrassing moment will be over and I'll leave,"

"Where do you remember having it last?" Andy questioned, trying to help.

"That would be the problem... I don't remember," Blair muttered, walking off in still searching.

"I don't understand this, why are you here?" Conner asked, than winced at his harsh tone. "I don't mean, I just we haven't talked in so long and then you turn up at my house..."

"I'm sorry I forgot being lower than you on the social scale means I'm not allow to be here." Blair bit back. "If you could for one second get off that high and mighty throne you have made for yourself and help me find my purse, then I wouldn't have to be in your presence any longer!"

"Whoa, cool it Bee," Parker grinned entering the room. He was clad only in white boxer shorts with red hearts.

"Shove it, Parker," She glared at him.

"How come you didn't stay longer with us in the hot tub last night? Instead you ran off, although that was a great view..." Parker smirked.

Blair rolled her eyes and frowned, "In case you hadn't noticed Allie was sick. Oh, but wait you were too busy-"

"Allie was sick?" Conner interrupted confused.

"Yeah," Blair replied as if he were dumb.

"What happened? Was she alright? Is she upstairs?" He questioned all at once.

"Just a mix of things... She's fine though. Nick helped her, and yes she is upstairs." Blair answered.

"It could be because we were passing-"

Cutting Parker off, Blair jabbed him, "You know, just beer before liquor never been sicker? Who knows what she and her friends had been drinking. It just didn't sit too well,"

"Yo, is that your purse by the couch?" Parker asked Blair, picking it up.

"Yeah, thanks," Blair grinned, running over to get it. "Well, then I'm out of here,"

"Can you give me a ride?" Everyone looked to the doorway to see Holly standing there. She was wearing her winkled clothes from last night, but she still managed to look semi decent.

"Of course," Blair replied, starting out of the room.

"Wait, I need to talk to you!" Conner exclaimed. Both Holly and Blair looked back to him. "Uh, both of you..."

"I think we've said all we've needed to say, but I'll wait well you talk to her," Blair said, sitting down on the couch.

"Thanks," Holly grinned at her, and let Conner lead her away, ignorant to the undercurrent between them.

"So, what happened to you last night?" Parker asked once Conner was out of earshot.

"Nothing," Blair replied quickly.

"Right and you're wearing some guy's sweats for nothing," Parker smirked.

Andy grinned, "Not even some guys, if I recall correctly they belong to a Matt-"

Blair ran over to Andy and immediately covered his mouth with her hand, "DuGrey if you know what's good for you you'll shut up now..."

"Wait! You and Matt?" Parker asked in disbelief.

"No!" She whispered.

"If you did it with Matt and well we all know you've done it with Conner and then... gross you did it with brothers!" Parker exclaimed.

"Matt and I didn't do it!" Blair said in her own defense.

"Then what are you doing in his clothes?" Conner asked coming back in. "I mean if you guys didn't do it or anything?"

"You ready to go?" Blair asked Holly ignoring Conner's accusation.

"Sure," She nodded.

"I'll meet you outside," Blair said, heading towards the door.

"Blair!" Conner shouted. "Shit," He cursed.

"I'm going to go now..." Holly whispered.

"Just remember what I said alright?" Conner said looking wary. "I meant it..."

"Ok," She smiled and left.

"You ok?" Andy asked as Conner paced the room.

"Yeah, I'm fine... let's um, let's go wake up Matt, because I want to know what happened with him and Blair. Shit, if he slept with her..." With that he started up the stairs.

"I don't want to miss this!" Parker exclaimed running right after him.

"Things are so fucked," Andy muttered, following both of the other guys.

"Matt, you better wake your lazy ass up now!" Conner shouted opening his brother's door, not caring who heard him.

"Shit, Conner, let me sleep!" Matt mumbled rolling over.

"No, not until I find out what happened with you and Blair!" Conner stated leaning against the wall.

"Blair?!" Matt exclaimed, finally sitting up in bed, he looked frantically over to his side. Both Parker and Andy had now arrived and were standing curiously in the open doorway.

"She was here last night?" Conner questioned stepping towards his brother. "You little dipshit!"

"Conner!" Andy called and grabbed his friend back. "Look, let Matt explain before you go crazy on us..."

Matt sighed, "I don't know if I have to explain anything. You don't own her! You're not even dating her!"

"You pisser, what did you do to her?" Conner exclaimed. Now both Parker and Andy were trying to keep Conner from beating his brother.

"Matt, for your own safety, explain to your brother nothing happened," Andy commanded.

"I didn't sleep with her," Matt mumbled.

"Good," Andy smiled. "Now that's all settled how about we go make some coffee,"

"Wait, if you didn't sleep with her what the hell happened?" Conner questioned.

"Just about all that happened when you set Allie up," Matt replied. "Although, I had no ulterior motive,"

"Besides that you got to see her in just her underwear, not to mention it was wet!" Parker smirked.

"Did you kiss her?" Conner asked seriously.

"Honestly I couldn't tell you, we both were pissed drunk. The only reason I know nothing big happened was because we'd never do that to you. Thanks for being so trusting," Glaring at his brother Matt got up and headed to the bathroom.

"Ouch," Parker winced as the door slammed.

"One question man, why do you care so much?" Andy questioned.

"Blair, well she and I were tight for a while, and I just don't like the idea of her with other guys yet," Conner explained.

"Yet, you broke up almost a year ago," Parker commented.

Careful not to wake Nick, Allie slid out of bed. Gently placing a blanket over him, she grabbed some things and headed to her bathroom.

Blinking his eyes open Nick noticed that Allie's bed was empty. Looking to the right he saw the bathroom door closed. Getting up he quickly folded the blanket and left the room, heading downstairs.

"Morning Nick," Andy greeted as he entered the kitchen. It looked like a disaster zone with garbage and empty bottles lying everywhere. Andy, Conner, and Parker were seated at the table with a cup of coffee each.

"Hey," He grinned, grabbing himself a mug and taking a seat. "Are you going to have trouble getting this place cleaned?"

"Nah, don't worry. I just hire a cleaning service," Conner smirked, severing the mess.

"Smart," Nick nodded. "I was going to head out soon, but have any of you seen Holly or Danny?" He questioned.

"Yeah, Holly left," Parker informed.

"She left?" Nick asked.

"It was with Blair, and she's really cool. So, you don't have to worry," Andy explained. Nick nodded, "Well I guess, -"

At that moment both Maddie and Danny walked into the kitchen. Fully dressed and looking casual.

Andy looked carefully at Maddie, "I can drive you home in a few minutes,"

"Morning to you too," She laughed. "Have you seen Holly?" She questioned looking around.

"She went home," Andy replied.

Maddie looked concerned, "She did, oh, well ok."

"Where'd you sleep last night?" Andy asked Maddie.

"Upstairs... how about you?" She asked smirking.

"Did you talk to Dad since what you told me?" He asked ignoring her comment.

"No, how could I? I was here all night!" She laughed, and then stopped looking at Andy's serious face. "They're fine-"

"Let's go," Andy said, getting up. "I'll see you guys later," He pushed Maddie towards the door.

"Great party Conner! Bye." She exclaimed, looking back at Danny and the other guys.

"Something is definitely up," Conner stated confused.

"Well, we better get going as well," Nick said, looking to Danny. "Thanks for everything man,"

"Anytime, hope it was up to scratch for you," Conner laughed.

"Oh yeah, it was!"

"I'm not going back with you!" Summer shouted. "Look, Tristan it was so nice of you to come down here and everything, but I can not just pick up my life and move it!"

"Summer, you can't stay here!" Tristan replied.

"The guy won't come back. He knows that the police know now..."

"But, still you're completely alone,"

Summer shook her head, "No, there-"

"I know there's Mark, he's been there all along... Maddie already told me thank you," Tristan sighed.

"Maddie told you what about Mark?" Summer questioned curiously.

"Just last night she said how he'd go on field trips with her and was practically her father..."

"She wouldn't say it to you!" Summer defended.

"Oh, so she'd think it, but not say anything?" Tristan asked incredulously.

"No, it has nothing to do with you, whether Mark was there or not. And, Maddie is not like that, I can't believe she said anything,"

"Wait, back up, what you just said, 'it has nothing to do with me, whether Mark was there or not?' Of course it does! It I was still living with you, than you'd never would of met Mark!"

"I hate to ruin this all for you, but I knew Mark before you and I started anything!" Summer exclaimed.

"You knew Mark in highschool?" Tristan questioned.

"No, I meant that I knew Mark, before you and I had the children,"

"And, where did you meet him then? Because, I sure as hell don't remember this!"

"When I was pregnant with Andy I took a pottery class. Mark happened to run it,"

"Oh, so you met him when I was off working to support our family?"

"What family? You ran at the first sign of commitment," Tristan opened his mouth angrily, "Wait I take that back, if you had, then you would have left after Andy, but you still left when the going got rough"

"Summer, you know that had nothing to do with why I left!"

"So, Tristan, why did you then?"

"We had an agreement; we both decided it was right,"

"Look we went down this road yesterday. I don't want to talk about it again."

"Morning Conner!" Allie grinned sitting down at the table.

"The cleaning staff is in the living room and they're going to get in here any minute, we shouldn't get in their way," Conner stated, starting to leave.

"Alright," Allie got up and followed Conner. "So, what company did you call this time?"

"I don't know it was in the phone book," He replied, walking away.

"Where are you going?" Allie called after him.

"Out!" And, with that the door slammed shut.

"What's up his ass?" Allie wondered out loud. "Matt!" She exclaimed, running upstairs to his bedroom. "Matt!"

"What?" He questioned, opening his door.

"Why's Conner acting so crabby?" She questioned.

"Probably, because of me..." Allie gave him a look to go on. "Blair slept in my bed last night and this morning was wearing my clothes,"

"How did-"

Interrupting Allie, Matt continued, "She had been in the hot tub, you were there right?" She nodded, "Yeah, well she got out and followed you when you were feeling sick. And, then it all kind of blurry, but we didn't fool around at all,"

"Does Conner know that?" She asked.

"I tried to tell him. He doesn't believe me though. He treats her, like she's his fucking property!"

"I don't get it. They broke up like a year ago!" Allie exclaimed.

"Conner's just being a jerk." Matt shrugged.

"Well, I hope he comes back soon, because I'm not paying the cleaning company for his party!"

"He left?" Matt asked.

"Shit, do you think?" Allie questioned.

"Yeah, damnit!"

Blair Carter lived outside of Hartford. The area was known for being poor and rundown. You're probably wondering how on earth Blair managed to get to go to Chilton. Every year Chilton had an annual scholarship drive. This is where they go to public school in the district and look for an exceptional student. They then provide them with a full scholarship to the school. Mostly this has started as a publicity stunt, but it had continued after they had gotten such positive feedback.

Conner drove carefully down Blair's street. Parking by the house, Conner got out observing a game of street hockey being played. Once at the door, he knocked quickly.

The door was opened and a man peered out the screen door. "Conner, long time no see man," Opening the screen door, he shocked Conner by pulling him into a hug.

"Hi Mr. Carter," He grinned.

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Rusty?"

"Is Blair around?" Conner questioned.

"Yeah, but you better hurry she's going off to work soon." Rusty replied. Rusty Carter was Blair stepfather.

"You know the way," Rusty nodded upstairs.

"Thanks," Conner called, navigating his way around the toys and mess upstairs. Knocking on the door, he waited again nervous.

"Come in!" Blair called from inside. Conner entered. "Conner! What are you doing here?" She questioned.

"We really have to talk," He told her.

"I don't have anything to say, but go ahead and hurry I have to go to work soon,"

"I don't know how to say this, but I want to get back together. I never stopped having feelings for you Blair."

"No way you jackass! What about the girl you so casually slept with last night?" Blair asked angrily.

"She told you?" He asked confused.

"She didn't have to. Shit, Conner you can't just screw with a girl like that,"

"She and I were both drunk. I-"

Blair interrupted him, "You were being an ass that's all."

"But, she knows we're not going to go out or anything. She knows it was just a fling!" Conner exclaimed.

"Do you not understand? I don't care. I'm not going to just be there well you screw the girl over, ok? She's probably is so confused right now!"

"Blair-"

"No, suck that shit up, cause I'm not going to be with you. Now go do something decent and go see how she's doing,"

"Blair, I love you though," Conner replied.

"Please go find her. It was her first time right? Go make sure she's alright ok?" Blair told him pushing him to the door.

"Blair,"

"Go!" Blair shouted, pushing him out her door. Shutting the door she leaned against it and cried.

Holly lay in bed trying to sleep. Mostly she was trying to forget how stupid she had been. She had had a hard time ignoring and making everything seem nonchalant to her brothers and Dad all day.

"Holly phone!" Nick called through the shut door. Rolling over she grabbed the phone. Knowing if she didn't get it, they come see what was wrong.

"Holly?" Maddie voice sounded.

"Hello,"

"Are you alright? You left pretty early," Maddie said.

"I was just exhausted." Holly explained.

"Oh, cause I don't know, I just thought something might be wrong or something,"

"No everything is fine,"

"You sure?" Maddie asked.

"Of course, Maddie I think I would know if I was feeling upset," Holly replied angrily.

Maddie was silent.

"Maddie, shit, I didn't mean anything like that! You can just be annoyingly naïve sometimes,"

"Oh, well, maybe that's true," Maddie said softly.

"See and you are such a bloody pushover!" Holly exclaimed. "Defend yourself for once! No wonder those guys took advantage of you!"

"You think it was my fault?" She asked quietly.

"Well, maybe. And, Danny too, what are you guys? Are you even a couple? Or, is he just using you too?" Holly questioned.

"I don't know,"

"Think about it. I have to go, alright,"

"Alright, bye," Maddie said.

Hanging up the phone Holly began to cry. "What is my problem?" She whispered. "Shit!" She sobbed.
